Job Requirements
The Opportunity:

12
months of hands-on learning, surrounding every aspect of the auction business: yard operations, heavy equipment inspections and appraisals, customer service, marketing, and sales and territory management. Key requirements for this program include:

A life-long fascination with construction equipment: if you were always the first kid into the sandbox and the last kid out, this could be your dream career.

We need you to be adventurous and mobile. We may ask you to move up to twice: once for training, and once more into a permanent territory in another city or region of the GEOGRAPHIC DIVISION, US. (Click here to see our site locations:

Graduation from a post-secondary education program is preferred, ideally with a major in Sales, Marketing, Commerce, Business Admin, Construction, or Agriculture.

1 - 3 years of post-grad work experience is required. Introductory experience in commission sales or managing your own small business is preferred.

Excellent verbal, written and listening skills in English.

You have a track-record of setting your own goals, and then meeting or beating them -- but you never sacrifice your personal integrity along the way.

You’re a true people person. You have a natural curiosity about absolutely everyone you meet.

You have a strong learning ability, coupled with a desire to learn more about everything around you.

You’re a self-starter. Sitting still and waiting to be told what to do next just isn’t in your nature.

You like to work hard, but still have fun on the job.

It’s important to note that:

This is not an “8 to 5” job. As an event-driven company, overtime is a major part of what we do.

Overnight travel will be required up to 50% of the time.

You'll have to maintain a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.

You must be able to work outside for extended periods in all types of weather.

You must be able to climb on top of and under large construction equipment.
